"Tong Ming, why do you want to tell this official, don't say anything about Dehua, this official has been in Hangzhou for half a year, and there is almost no movement, let alone any Dehua."

"If you ask for something, how can you go if you have no profit?"

"Then what profit are you greedy for?"

"The mediocre book written by Governor Zheng has read it below, and it is very incisive."

"Just tell me what you mean."

"Your golden mean is the way to reconcile yin and yang, and there is no shortage of talented people around Zheng Zhifu, including several students, who are very talented. Governor Zheng himself is even more talented, no one has ever been before, and there is no one after him. ”

"I don't have that ability, you just say it." Zheng Lang frowned, what he was most afraid of hearing was this sentence.

Talent is also jealous.

In other dynasties, the higher the taboo, the more taboo. If you are a suspicious monarch, you will get a bad end. Even Zhao Zhenchao has to prevent the three of them from becoming tigers.

"Please listen to me patiently," Tong Ming disagreed, and said slowly: "On national affairs, on talent and learning, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and writing, I am not as far as Zheng Governor's Mansion, but Zheng Governor's Mansion acts brightly, including the students in the house, Yang is heavy, and Yin is less." Yin and yang are not reconciled, how can there be moderation? ”

Lao Tzu's moderation actually made you misinterpret it like this, Zheng Lang laughed and said, "You mean you bring me a yin qi?" ”

"It's not yin, it's some small means, but it's by no means a chicken and a dog thief, you can get it, just like Zheng Zhifu gives an annual salary of 1,000 yuan to skilled craftsmen, and the left side door is no less than these craftsmen, so I recommended myself in Xia Mao, hoping to be a guest under Zheng Zhifu."

"It's not difficult to be my doorman, and I also lack doormen," what yin and yang, Zheng Lang didn't take it seriously, but there was only one doorman at home, Shi Congguang, or Chai Keming, the workshop manager in Zhengzhou, as his stall became bigger and bigger, there was no shortage of manpower.

After Sima Guang left, Wang Anshi became quiet alone, Yan Rong had no qualifications to fight with him, and the Fan brothers didn't want to fight, so when they were bored, they ran to Yu Qian to quarrel with Sima Guang, Sima Guang was very happy, first respectful as a guest, and then quarrel. This matter has also become a good talk in Hangzhou. But two years later, Wang Anshi also had to go to the imperial examination, and his family lacked a think tank for consultation.

Zheng Lang has never underestimated the wisdom of others, and his own wisdom is the knowledge of future generations, and he will eventually need people to fill in the gaps, so sooner or later he will increase the number of customers.

continued: "But I also have a bottom line, I understand the Han Xin you said, it has a role, and it is yin...... But you have violated my bottom line, the small ones are the family, the big ones are the country, the same people of the Song Dynasty, no matter what mistakes they make, they are all people of the same country and the same family. If he has the ability to punish, he will be punished, and if he does not have the ability to punish, he will not be punished, and he must not borrow any other country's strength to punish him, unless he has fled from our court. As for the relationship between countries, it is possible to fight between countries, but diplomacy is not the same as using foreign power against its own people. I don't accept this Han Xin's strategy. It's not difficult to be my doorman, as long as you come up with another plan, I will let you vote for me. ”

Tong Ming was stunned, what kind of weird bottom line this is, and said: "It's the best way." ”

"I know, find a way to marry the county lord, there are many noble women from the Japanese slave country on the ship, they admire our Chinese civilization, as long as they choose some people with good family backgrounds and have nothing to do with this case, then not only the royal family of the Japanese slave country, but also some nobles, will compete to make friends with our country. Not only can we keep the two mines safe, but we can also instruct them to assist us in the arrest. That is what Jun said about Han Xin. ”

"yes, you don't have to pay much, so why not?"

Fu Bi pondered for a moment and said, "This method is good." ”

"What's good? Taizong attacked Youzhou and didn't conquer it, do you know who was the one who held the Youzhou City and fought a bloody battle with my dynasty? Ninety percent of us are Han Chinese! A nation that values its roots the most, once it goes overseas, immediately denies its ancestors, and it is strange, why, is it because our country does not treat it well, how can we ask for it? Only by giving and helping, will they be homesick. Also, there has been no cultivation of a sense of the state. ”

It is not the country that everyone is loyal to, but the emperor.

One is the country and the other is the emperor, what contrast will the two cause?

After Zheng Lang finished speaking, he rubbed his head, and he couldn't blame Tong Ming, the concept of family and country was not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it was indeed a good idea, but no one understood his heart. In fact, he didn't want to move the private salt at all, at most he would improve the pavilion households, and slightly hit the big pavilions, it was not difficult to do, two Zhejiang Huai 7,000 pavilions, one tax exemption, but only 30,000 income, and the loss of the imperial court was not heavy. The really hateful big pavilion households are only one or two hundred, and they can afford to move.

But the private salt can't be moved.

This thing is almost ten times more profitable, which is greater than the profit of drug trafficking in later generations, and it is easy to get rid of, who has the ability to stop it?

Han Jiang and Lu Gongbi have already poked the leak open, and they have died again. If it was the person Li Yongde killed, thank God, the case would be closed. I don't want to ask anymore. But he didn't send people to kill people, can you check it? Or do you also learn from other officials to carry stolen goods and put the murder on Li Yongde's head?

had to investigate, but the other party's power made him jealous, and it seemed that he had underestimated it, so it was even more difficult to handle this case.

Putting down his fingers, he asked again: "Tong Ming, this official asked you, where are you from?" ”

"Under is Ren and Beiguanren."

"Listen to you, you are also a capable person, why do you succumb to my disciple and want to be my guest?"

"It's a good thing, but it's not the right way, when I was young, I took the imperial examination several times, and I couldn't even pass a single exam, and I couldn't do it, but I couldn't do it, but I couldn't do it again. For example, in business, if you are not careful, your family property will be tens of thousands. ”

Hearing him say a few carelessly, Cui Xian smiled on the side and said, "Tong Langjun, drink tea, take a sip of tea." ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Cui."

After he drank the tea, Zheng Lang asked again, "How do you know the arrangement of this official?" ”

"I have some dealings with them, and although I don't know what they're doing, I can guess about them. This has nothing to do with me, during this time, I saw that they were a little panicked and suspicious, and I happened to hear Zheng Zhifu talk about the deed shares today, and I thought of Zheng Zhifu's song, and suddenly realized. ”

"So you coerced the official and accepted you as a guest?"

"I'm not Governor Zheng," Tong Ming glanced at the newspaper and said with a smile: "When the opportunity comes, if you don't know how to grasp it, it's my fault." The scientific expedition may be hopeless for life, but investing in the door of the Zheng Governor's Mansion is also a way to enter the official career. ”

I joined your door precisely to be an official.

Fu Bi was speechless, and he was really a yin person.

"Okay, let's say, in addition to this Han Xin's strategy, there are other strategies?"

"If you don't use this strategy, it will be troublesome, let me think about it, Governor Zheng doesn't like to use the power of outsiders, but inviting the Wa State to send an envoy to me to pay respects, is it considered to borrow the power of outsiders?"

"No, that's a pilgrimage."

"Governor Zheng can ask the king's chamberlain to invite the Japanese slave country to send envoys over, although our dynasty is for the matter of mineral deposits, but it is true that they sent envoys to the past, and they do not send envoys to pay a return visit, which is also a contempt for my Great Song Dynasty."

"What else is there to despise?" Zheng Lang sneered, but he understood Tong Ming's intentions, and said: "This is a strategy, but it doesn't have much effect." ”

"Listen to me first, there is another strategy, Governor Zheng beat the grass, and also frightened the snake, now the plan, take it away, and immediately announce the execution of Li Yongde and others, they will be at ease. Moreover, I heard that Governor Zheng said that there are dozens of mines, and whether they can release more mines makes them excited. Between one security and one pull, it will not endanger the safety of the mineral deposits of the Japanese slave country for the time being. In my opinion, this is the top priority. ”

"Well, what you said is reasonable, rich brother, when you go back, you will judge these dozens of people according to the law, and ask for beheading after the autumn."

"Zheng Zhifu, Ming said that all the money and land can be paid to the state government, and Zheng Zhizhou will rule Hangzhou in the spring, but the big households can solve it, but the Fahai people can't solve it. If they don't solve it, they won't even be able to clean up behind the West Lake. So the Zheng Governor's Mansion made people sing the legend of the White Snake......"

Fu Bi sighed, this yin man really has some ability, and he actually saw Zheng Lang's intention to release the White Snake Singing Script, and it took a long time for Zheng Lang to make some reminders before he realized it.

It's not easy, this yin man.

"Let me think about it, it's really not going to be the queen of autumn."

"My subordinates also think it's better to go after autumn."

"Don't claim to be a subordinate, I haven't accepted you as a guest yet, and none of your methods can solve the problem."

Tong Ming thought for a while with a sad face and said: "There is really no other way, half of their roots are rooted in the Japanese slave country, and they don't move there, only in Hangzhou, no." Or, I'll get closer to them and see if I can get more information. ”

"Fine, but be careful."

Since he was going to be an internal detective, he couldn't stay any longer, so he left immediately after speaking.

Fu Bi looked at his back and said, "This person has some ability. ”

The status is different, and the vision of the problem is also different, if Tong Ming squeezes into the court to hold a heavy position, with his reckless approach, Fu Bi will be very opposed, but as a guest, he is indeed a helper. Zheng Lang said: "You can't underestimate the people of the world, there are many people who have the ability, and they don't necessarily have to be in the Jinshi, such as Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao." ”

When it comes to these two people, Fu Bi can't speak, and he can't be convinced.

After discussing for a while, Fu Bi also left.

Zheng Lang said to Wang Yuan: "You go and call that county lord." ”

"Whoa."

"Officials are ......"

"Xian'er, you're thinking nonsense again."

"The concubine doesn't, but I don't understand what you said just now, you don't need that Han Xin's strategy, and you want to call her again. If it is true that the officials include her under the door, it is not impossible, she is the county lord, although she is the county lord of an island country, her status is also very noble, and it is the glory of the Zheng family to be included in the Zheng family. ”

"You just know, she is the county lord, no matter how she says it, she is also the county lord, how can she be my concubine, don't think nonsense, I don't have much affection for this country." What is the glory, these widows, if they stick to him for 10 million yuan, they will not accept it.

Cui Xian just smiled, her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

"Happy, don't worry about me like other scholars, I have dozens of family records at home."

"If you really like it, you can raise it, but you can't raise dozens of them." Cui Xian said weakly.

"Go, don't play with me, Xing'er, Si'er, Huan'er."

"The officials are here."

"From today onwards, until you stay with you, each of you will stay for the first ten days of the month."

"That's not right," Huan'er said.

"What's wrong?"

"One person is ten days, and there are only thirty days in a month."

"Somebody doesn't care about her."

"Daddy, what do you mean to stay overnight?"

Cui Xian rolled her eyes and said, "My daughter is not small, and you don't pay attention to what you say." ”

Zheng Lang also rolled his eyes, it hasn't been three weeks yet, what is there to pay attention to.

I came through it, but my daughter didn't come through it.

With a little laughter, Yanzi and the interpreter were brought in.

"I've seen Governor Zheng."

"Sit."

"I don't know what Governor Zheng is looking for me?"

It is very inconvenient to speak, everything has to be translated by an interpreter, Zheng Lang said: "There are two things to find you. ”

"Please make it clear."

"Since the Tang Dynasty, many things have happened in your country, and many things have also happened in our China, except for non-governmental business and trade exchanges, the two countries have not sent envoys to each other for a long time. I would like to propose that you, the Emperor, send an envoy to our capital to join your Majesty. ”

"This is good," Yanzi's eyes lit up, it was cost-effective to deal with China, he gave back a lot of money, and also instructed the technology, and when he came to Hangzhou for a long time, he saw many good things, and saw if he could ask the emperor of the Song Dynasty to teach these skills to his own country.

It's not that she wants to be beautiful, it's that China likes to be the one who is wronged.

"Another thing, thank you Emperor for his hospitality to our envoys, and therefore, I have sent him a calligraphy and painting."

"Thank you," Yanzi had also heard about this, in order to get his calligraphy and paintings, the emperor Khitan in the north specially sent someone to steal, but this person did not like to give away human characters or paintings, and heard that his words were beautiful, but few people had ever gotten them.

Sending words to my uncle today is also a thick affection.

Zheng Lang didn't want to send it, there was no way, the implication was too wide, so he had to do it. took out a piece of rattan paper and wrote Bai Juyi's "Song of Long Hatred" on it, don't give it to the profound poetry, the Japanese and the Korean people can't understand it, only Bai Juyi's poetry is easy to understand, so in these two countries, Bai poetry is widely circulated, Du Shi and Li Shi, they are very strange. drew another picture of a fairy, and Yang Guifei became a fairy and a real person.

It took more than an hour to draw and write it and hand it over to Yanzi.

Yanzi left with a thousand thanks.

Zheng Lang instructed Wang Zhi again: "You quietly go to the inn, and tell Liu Dahai that they should go back first and don't check again, so as not to be alarmed." Go back to Taiping Prefecture and wait for my news. ”

"Whoa."

Fan Chunyou sighed: "Why is this so? Is there still a royal law? ”

Zheng Lang smiled and said, "Why is this so, your father is in Jiangdong, why don't you write a letter to ask?" ”

Hugh said that he also had a headache when he changed Fan Zhongyan, and I am afraid that most of them would not want to touch this moldy head.

Grandma's, do the two boys Han Jiang and Lu Gongbi care about pit themselves?

The meeting resumed the following day.

The materials dedicated to the various forces of the Japanese slave state of nearly 400,000 guan were to be apportioned, and the imperial court took out 200,000 guan, and the rest were shared by private individuals. But the imperial court not only had these 200,000 guan materials, but also ordered 200,000 kan ships last winter, reaching 400,000 kan before and after.

It will not be delivered for a while and a half, and some docks are slow, and it takes two years to build a large ship, and more than half a year soon. And the cost of each ship is very expensive, the peak of the floating dock in Qianzhou is to build 300 ships a year, the cost is 400,000 guan, this is the official dock, can not be accurate, the greed for ink is too powerful, but the sea ship requirements are higher, the private dock to build a face width of 3 meters 8, the length of 15.5 meters, can accommodate 50 people, the displacement of only 40 or 50 tons of standard fishing channel boat, it takes 400 guan.

A ship with a displacement of five or six hundred tons costs 5,000 guan, and a large ship with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons costs more than 10,000 guan. Zheng Lang spent 400,000 yuan, but only ordered sixty-five ships. But don't be afraid of expensive, it must be good.

Nowadays, the incorruptibility of Hangzhou officialdom ensures the quality of the ships, at least they will not eat kickbacks, and the Song Dynasty also had kickbacks.

These ships, equipped with the latest technology and the best wood, can better ensure the safety of future sea voyages. Therefore, when a new ship is launched, all the current ships will be replaced.

There are also gunpowder and weapons, which cannot be apportioned according to 55, at present, the imperial court accounts for 50 shares, and the other households only account for 15 shares, and the expenses must also be apportioned according to this proportion to ensure the fairness of the absolute surname.

As well as manpower, the imperial court would have sent 2,500 soldiers, 1,500 on the silver side, 1,000 on the gold mine side, and 1,500 private armed men, half-soldiers. It's not abuse, after all, it's paid well. If you do well, you can pay 200 yuan a year, and you can live a comfortable life even in the capital.

The main source of labour is locality.

Therefore, nearly 100,000 additional shipments were prepared, including supplies.

Then another thing was announced, and five copper mines were sent to inquire about not only Cebu Island, but also some further afield, such as the Tampakan copper mine in Mindanao, which contains more than 10 million tons of refined copper and hundreds of tons of gold. It is a theoretical reserve, and with the current ability, it is very good to be able to mine one-tenth of it. Not far away, such as the Glassberg copper mine, which is also a very large copper mine, but on Irian Island.

There must be, but how many days to find it, no one can know, the deeper you go, the sparsely populated, the rainforest is dense, and the climate is harsh. There are also a large number of indigenous people in these places, as well as cannibals, and disputes and battles are inevitable.

And Zheng Lang has one of the biggest regrets, these big copper mines are all porphyry mines with very low copper content, the highest is less than 1 percent, and the low is only 0.45 percent.

The best, you have to go inside, it is estimated that it will not be possible at the moment, too far, don't go around dozens of ships, so that you can't even go home.

With the compass and his detailed chart, Zheng Lang is still very worried about Irian Island in the distance. It's too far. I can't explain it if I can't figure it out, I haven't heard of it, I've never heard of it, how do I know it?

Luzon Island is not moving, there are too many aborigines living on it, although there are several mines, and they know the specific location, but it is not easy to move, and it is scattered, and it is not moved. Use some supplies, exchange them for future supply points.

Don't ask how much, as long as you can find it, you can waste it casually, three or four million tons of copper can be obtained, and it is possible to get hundreds of thousands of taels of gold.

threw it out in advance, not because Tong Ming said, it was forced by Zhao Zhen.

Zheng Lang is also in a hurry, the war is about to start, and he knows very well how much money he has in the treasury. In this urgency, how many more prospectors will die, no matter what.

He doesn't care, and everyone else doesn't care.

This news immediately blew up the battalion.

can be calculated, according to the minting money, three or four million tons of copper can also be minted one billion yuan, but a lot of costs have to be deducted, but this figure also makes everyone's eyes green.

That's what I want.

When registration begins, those who want to register will not be able to gather everyone together to discuss and find representatives when there is something to do.

Meeting.

Fu Bi stroked his chest and said: "This time the crisis in the court is resolved. ”

"Wrong, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the quality of these copper ores is not high, if you want to mine and refine it, some of them will take at least three hundred years, or even five hundred years." Take your time. After walking a few steps, he said: "Tong Ming said that when I arrived at the lineup, the surname Suo would also start to walk in line." ”

"What do you mean by walking in a queue?"

"Allocate some money to repair thirty sea ships as fast as possible, not large, two thousand materials, these ships are not used to load goods, nor passengers, but to carry soldiers for naval warfare."

"Naval battles?"

"There are near worries, there are also far worries, not only near worries may be fought at sea, but also there may be some disputes at sea later, Yi people do not understand the way of Confucius and Mencius, and they should use both grace and power, mainly with power, supplemented by grace. Like the Japanese slave country, it was the Tang Dynasty that scared them, so they must be respectful to us in China. Let's go in line. ”

Let's go to the team, anyway, this naval army on the sea will be established sooner or later, otherwise the transportation at sea cannot be guaranteed, it used to be a private person, turning a blind eye, but in the future, half of the wealth will be from the imperial court, and it can't be ignored.

Zheng Lang said again: "It's not useless, we are the government, representing the imperial court, the other party is difficult, and we will not see the light in the end." They are passive, but we can calmly finish this ambush on all sides. ”
